The company wants to purchase a recently available faster model with control up to 8 axes for $240,000. The presently owned machine can be sold today for $105,000. Its operating cost over the past 2 years has been $30,000 per year. The value that should be used as P for the presently owned machine is: (choose one) a. $105,000 Ob. $240,000 О с. $30,000 O d. $195,000

Because it fumes at room temperatures, hydrochloric acid creates a very corrosive work environment. A machine working in that environment is deteriorating quickly and can be used for only one more year, at which time it will be scrapped with no salvage value. It was purchased 3 years ago for $88,000, and its operating cost for the next year is expected to be $49,000. A more corrosion-resistant challenger will cost $206,000 with an operating cost of $46,000 per year. It is expected to have a $50,000 salvage value after its 10-year ESL. At an interest rate of 8% per year, what minimum replacement value would render the challenger attractive? The minimum replacement value that would render the challenger attractive is $ .
A piece of equipment that was purchased 2 years ago by Toshiba Imaging for $50,000 was expected to have a useful life of 5 years with a $5000 salvage value. Its performance was less than expected, and it was upgraded for $20,000 one year ago. Increased demand now requires that the equipment be upgraded again for another $16,500 so that it can be used for 3 more years. If upgraded, its M&O costs will be $22,500 and it will have a $12,000 salvage after 3 years. Alternatively, it can be replaced with new equipment priced at $65,000 with M&O costs of $14,000 per year and a salvage value of $23,000 after 6 years. If replaced now, the existing equipment will be sold for $7000. Determine the values of P, S, M&O, and n for the defender in a replacement study. The value of P is $ . The value of S is $ . The value of M&O is $ per year. The value of n is years.
Equipment that was purchased by Newport Corporation for making pneumatic vibration isolators cost $90,000 two years ago. It has a market value that can be described by the relation $90,000 − 8000k, where k is the years from time of purchase. The operating cost for the first 5 years is $65,000 per year, after which it increases by $6300 per year. The asset’s salvage value was originally estimated to be $7000 after a predicted 10-year useful life. Determine the values of P, S, and AOC if (a) a replacement study is done now and it is assumed that the equipment will be kept a maximum of only 1 more year, and (b) a replacement study is done 1 year from now and it is assumed that the equipment will be kept a maximum of only 1 more year after that.
Because it fumes at room temperatures, hydrochloric acid creates a very corrosive work environment. A machine, working in that environment, is deteriorating fast and can be used for only 1 more year, at which time it will be scrapped with no salvage value. It was purchased 3 years ago for $88,000; its operating cost for the next year is expected to be $53,000. A more corrosion-resistant challenger will cost $226,000 with an operating cost of $48,000 per year. It is expected to have a $60,000 salvage value after its 10-year ESL. At an interest rate of 15% per year, what minimum replacement value would render the challenger attractive?
For P500, 000, an engineer purchased a piece of equipment. He added another P40,000 to his budget for installation and other costs. The equipment's expected useful life is ten years. The salvage value is x% of the original cost. The book value at the end of five years using the straight line technique will be P300,500. What is the numerical value of x?
An independent contractor for a transportation company needs to determine whether she should upgrade the vehicle she currently owns or trade her vehicle in to lease a new vehicle. If she keeps her vehicle, she will need to invest in immediate upgrades that cost $5,000 and it will cost $1,500 per year to operate at the end of year that follows. She will keep the vehicle for 4 years; at the end of this period, the upgraded vehicle will have a salvage value of $4,000. Alternatively, she could trade in her vehicle to lease a new vehicle. She estimates that her current vehicle has a trade-in value of $10,000 and that there will be $4,500 due at lease signing. She further estimates that it will cost $3,000 per year to lease and operate the vehicle. The independent contractor's MARR is 12%. Compute the EUAC of both the upgrade and lease alternatives using the insider perspective. EUAC(keep)$ _____ EUAC(lease)$ _____ What alternative should the independent contractor choose: a. either…
An expansion of the current BIM (Building Information Model) software has been proposed to First Financial, the building’s owner. A total installed cost of $120,000 is expected to generate additional savings of $40,000 per year for 10 years, after which time the software will be replaced with no salvage value. The annual M&O cost is expected to be $10,000 the first year and increase by an arithmetic gradient G between $1000 and $5000 per year thereafter. Determine if the expanded BIM is sensitive to gradient increases of $1000 (optimistic), $3000 (most likely), and $5000 (pessimistic) per year. Use AW analysis and a MARR of 10% per year.
Machine A was purchased 5 years ago for $90,000. Its operating cost is higher than expected, so it will be used for only 4 more years. Its operating cost this year will be $40,000, increasing by $2000 per year through the end of its useful life. The challenger, machine B, will cost $150,000 with a $50,000 salvage value after its 10-year ESL. Its operating cost is expected to be$10,000 for year 1, increasing by $500 per year thereafter. What is the market value for machine A that would make the two machines equally attractiveat an interest rate of 12% per year?
A theft-avoidance locking system has a first cost of $23,500, an AOC of $16,000, and no salvage value after its 3-year life. Assume that you were told the service provided by this asset would be needed for only 5 years. This means that the asset will have to be repurchased and kept for only 2 years. What would its market value, call it M, have to be after 2 years in order to make its annual worth the same as it is for its 3-year life cycle at an interest rate of 10% per year? Determine the market value M using factors. The market value M is $
Air handling equipment that costs P12, 000 has a life of eight years with a P2, 000 salvage value. Using double declining balance method, what is the book value at the end of 4 years?
An equipment was bought for P1 500 000 and has a salvage value of P600 000 at the end of its life. If the book value of the equipment is P870 000 at the end of two years, find the life span using Sum of Years Digit?
In order to replace an old process for producing a polymer that reduces friction loss in engines, two current-technology machines have been identified. Process K will have a first cost of $160,000, an operating cost of $7000 per month, and a salvage value of $50,000 after 1 year and $40,000 after its maximum 2-year life. Process L will have a first cost of $210,000, an operating cost of $5000 per month, and salvage values of $100,000 after 1 year, $70,000 after 2 years, $45,000 after 3 years, and $26,000 after its maximum 4-year life. You have been asked to determine which process is better using a study period of (a) 1 year, (b) 2 years, and (c) 3 years. The company’s MARR is 12% per year compounded monthly.
